SALEM -- Another grainy video of an Oregon elected official has popped up on YouTube, this one of Gov. John Kitzhaber grocery shopping.

That's right. Shopping.

A blogger who goes by the handle Daylight Disinfectant, and refers to himself as a "citizen journalist" captured a little over a minute of video of Kitzhaber, a Democrat, strolling the aisles of an unnamed market. After a polite greeting by the governor, the two talk briefly. It ends with Kitzhaber saying he doesn't want to be interviewed at the grocery store and to "give me a break."

Asked about the video, Kitzhaber's spokesman Tim Raphael said, " Seriously? I can't believe we're even talking about this. The great thing about Oregon is the governor can usually do his grocery shopping in peace."

It's the second time this month that a state official has been the target of a video that raises privacy questions. Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, was recorded by an anonymous photographer taking her recycling bins into her garage at night. The video also focused on her windows and knocked on her door.

That video also was posted on YouTube, and was promoted by Multnomah County Republican Party Chairman Jeff Reynolds. He contended the footage proved Burdick "lied" about a scheduling conflict when she opted out of a town hall meeting that night.

Burdick, who has sponsored several gun control bills at the state Legislature, called the video "creepy" and said it was meant to intimidate her.

The latest video lingers on Kitzhaber picking out items and making a quick phone call. When he becomes aware that he's being recorded, he has a short conversation with the photographer before declining to be interviewed.

It's unclear whether the photographer followed the governor to the store, or simply saw him and started recording. The photographer doesn't identify himself. Professional journalists typically do.
